— Alice Harper

What a great idea. My hubby had to kick my arse but I submitted my page and apparently it was the first page of short fiction. I hope and am sure there will be more ...What’s great about this is that it invites all sorts of contributions. But if I’m honest keeping everyone to a page is also important, so no-one gets to bang on.

— Rachel Parker

Just seen my page on Twitter and Facebook. Made my day seeing it actually being used, can’t wait to see this when we are all published. Brilliant project! Brilliant idea! Just brilliant. Nice to meet you all, really great seeing differing styles, emotions and cultures. We are all immortal :-)

Hi everyone, I just summited my page. Please cross the fingers for me to make it into the book. But what I really want to say is what an amazing project this is. Thanks James for not only having an amazing idea but to push it forward to what this has become. Your effort to make this happen is second to none. I particularly love your one-to-one approach. Answering to everybody who participate as you do is a great detail. I hope the gods make you immortal pretty soon for you to be able to give the world more great projects like this one. Happy to be part of it. 

Thanks to James for giving me the chance to do this and learn more about myself! Good luck to everyone who is still finishing up their page!

— David Terzibachian

What a project! All the pages we’ve had a look at so far are brilliant, and like everyone else I can’t wait to get my hands on the completed book! Sounds like there’ll be enough ideas in there to mull over for a lifetime. Unless you are actually immortal. Then maybe just a really long time.

— Leanne Haworth

Finally got my page in, there has to be a joke about nearly missing a deadline, eternity and immortality, but I can’t figure it out. 

— Nicholas Hunt

I should say, initially I wasn’t sure how interesting and varied the contributions might be—but, when look through the pages as and when James sends out updates I’m stimulated by how much thought everyone has put into their page. This is going to be an awesome book!

— Ashutosh Mohan

— Roen Horn

Truly wonderful concept. I’ve been through a bit of a rough time myself these past few years, so creating a page for this book - thinking about what life really means to me - was part of the healing process. I wouldn’t normally think that funding a project would also touch the soul, but this has. So this is a pretty unusual project: an excellent concept. Well done, James. It’s been fantastic to be part of this.

— Chris Lennard

It was a great experience. The book is incredible and so original. I am looking forward to having it in my hands.Thanks James!

Thanks James for the idea and bringing us all together! So glad to have been a part of this endeavour. Eagerly waiting to get my hands on the final book :)

— Sanchit Arora

I love the idea of this book/project as a whole. It is very inclusive and great for giving artists/writers a sense of encouragement. At first, I was not exactly sure how to approach the subject, and I noticed it could be either playful or serious. An interesting subject—I think we will get a great balance in this book. It will be fun to flip through because it will engage immediately, yet with variety. A big thanks for James is owed. He is a great organizer (efficient, friendly, and encouraging).

— Bryce MacDonald

We’re approaching the finish line (or is it the starting line) and soon the book will be out there for all to see and enjoy. It’s a genuine pleasure and honor for me to participate in this project and I’m excited to see the finished work. Well done, everyone!
